Anybody who has ever looked at i full
orchestral score must have been i'm
pressed with the immense labor involved
in writing it, as well as with the pro-
found knowledge of instruments that is
required for the work. One reason why
modern composers are not so prolific as
those of tho last century is due to this
very fact. A hundred years ago the or
chcstras were of a much simpler form
than they are at present. Not nearly SO
much attention was devoted to wood
wind instruments. and, besides this, n
great many other instruments nave been
added to the full orchestra, and every
modern composer feels bound to utilize
every effect in his score. The music of
today, therefore, is much richer in color
than that of the past, as every concert
Eoer will appreciate who makes n mental
comparison etwee works of Hadvn or
Mozart and those of Wagner and List.
In view of the immense mount of
work and the kind of knowledge required
TO do it, the impression would be natural
that scoring must be n well paid labor,
but the reverse is the case. For the scor-
ing of an ordinary march for full or
chestra one does not need to pay moro
than $40 Mt the mo-, and it may be fire.
quently had for S., and the work will be
in every sense satisfactory and complete.
The men who do this kind of work are
usually players in orchestras whose time
is not entirely taken up with rehearsals
and performances, and with pupils that
they may have to instruct. They are
glad of an opportunity to devote their
evenings to odd jobs of scoring and ar
ranging for the orchestra, and the COM
petition among them is so great that the
price is cut down to such a margin that
ordinary composers, who do not strive
after original effects, can better afford to
have this work done by outside parties
than to do it themselves .-New York

When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chill, a stratagem was
rcsorted TO in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part of
the Araucanian Indians and maintain the
connection between the strongholds on
the frontier. There were at the time be-
tween forty and fifty captive Indians in
the CHILEAN camp. Gen. Pinto called
them together, and, pointing to the tele-
graph wires, he said: do you see those
wires?' "Yes, general" Very good.
| want you to remember not to go near
nor touch them; for if you do your hands
viii be held and you will be unable to
get away" The Indians smiled incredu-
lousy.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold of the wires at both
ends of an electric battery in full opera
ton. After which he exclaimed: Il
command you to let 60 the wire!'' Il
can't; my hands are benumbed, " said the
Indian. The battery was then stopped
and the man released. Not long after
ward the general restored them to liberty,
giving them strict injunctions to keep the
secret, and not to betray it to their conn
trymen on any account. This had the
desired effect, for, as might be expected,
the experiment was related ''in the
~strictest confidence" to every man of the
tribe, and the telegraph has ever since re-
manned unmolested Electrical Review.

Parisians, who, in these latter days, at
least, are not remarkable for the depth of
fervor of their religious feelings, are
about to have a museum of religion. The
founder of this remarkable and interest
ing institution is a NJ. Guimet. The
building is in the Graco-Roman style of
architecture, and with its pillared porti-
Goes, its rotunda, its columns, and its
caryatides, looks like an ancient temple.
1t is situated near the Trocadero, at a cor
ner of the avenue d'Jena. The edifce
has been constructed after designs which
were taken from the last mosaics discov-
cred at Pompeii. The religions of Greece
and Rome are most strongly represented,
and in the northern gallery is an atrium
which is to contain the altar of q aga
divinity copied from an original model.
In the lateral galleries will be exhibited
objects appertaining to the religions of
Egypt, India and China. In a garden at
tached to the building there is to be
placed a large conservatory and n pond
containing plants c~onsecrated to religious
uses.-Paris Cor. London Telegraph.

END OF THE TRADE DOLLARS.

Tho Last Melt" at tho Assny Office.
Samples for Assaying-Bricks.
On q recent Friday afternoon the last
"melt' of the 3,495, 533 trade dollars
which have been received at the United
States assay Office in Wall street, since
the act of congress authorizing their pur-
chase went into effect, was completed and
the limpid silver was poured into tho
molds and transformed into silver bricks,
LOO to 1, 200 ounces in weight. A "melt''
of silver at the assay Office means 5000
ounces. Therefore, in order to make way
with the whole number of this 8. SOC, 900
of trade dollars about 700 ''meltsp were
necessary. A reporter CHANGED to be
present and stood near the crucible when
these last representatives of q dead cur
rency slowly lost their individuality
and became a shapeless glittering mass.
When the last 'melt' Of the trade dol
lars had been poured into the molds and
made into brick, the reporter observed
that two small quantities, perhaps OF q
grain or two each, were put into little re-
ceptacles and sent to the assaying room.
These" explained Assistant Assayer j.
7. Wilder, ''are the samples for a~ssaying.

their work must tally. If it does not, the
work is repeated. If the two ASSAYS still
fail to agree the whole melt is remelted

cess is gone through with again.

Then enough chlorine is added to precip-

The solution is then shaken for three
minutes in a shaking machine (run by
steam), after which it is allowed to set

atom of which is taken account Of, anG
If any silver remains in solution it show

peated until no %cloudiness appears, show
ing that no silver remains in solution;
that it has all been precipitated. Then
n calculation is made as to the exact
ineness of the samples of silver in the
trade dollar, which is corrected by silver
proofs. When the fineness is thoroughly
ascertained it is stamped upon the bar or
brick which has been formed by the
melted dollars, together with the value,
weight, melt number and number of the
bar. Then the bar or brick is sent to the
'inclosure' before mentioned, where the
other trade dollar bricks are kept under
a combination safe lock. The combina-
ton of this, as well as of the other safe
locks in the building, is known only to
Superintendent Mason and one other
trusted official. New York Tribune.

And now finally as to the electrical
typewriter. y friend in the patent Office
at Washington writes to ask me TO keep
cool. The device has been already in
vented and is % about half patented.
BY the time this appears in print the
patent will be complete. The machine
will work at any distance over which q
wire can be placed. My correspondent
believes that it can be worked on the
other side of the ocean connected with
this side by the cable. This l doubt, as
the current is so weak either on account
of seasickness or other reasons by the
time it gets to the other side that all it is
able to do is to defect u very small mir
ror so ielicatcly poised as to be practi-
cally suspended in the air. Still if the
dynmogruph, rs they call it, will work
over ordinary land spaces it will be n
great invention. although, of course, it
will be nothing to the electromagnetic

Not ono consumptire,s raradl.e.

In a letter read before a recent meeting
of the Berlin Anthropological society,
DIR. Schliemann theoretically protests
against the current belief in the salutary
effect of the Egyptian climate in pulmon-
airy troubles, He writes from Thebes:
''Since my consumptive servant, Polops,
whom l had taken with me in order to
save his life, has died, and since l have
observed in this city a number of con-
sumptives whom, like the German Con-
sular Agent Tedrous, 1 knew twenty-eight
years ago as robust men, l am entirely
cured of the belief that Egypt is the para
disc of consumptives, and 1 would much
rather advise such patients to go to the
Riviera than to Egypt. Chicago News.

Tho Way. of Baby Elophan,..

How the young elephants in the largo
herds escape from being crushed is some
thing of a mystery, as they are almost
continually in motion; but when a herd is
alarmed the young almost Immediately
disappear. A close observer would zee
that each baby was trotting along directly
beneath its mother, sometimes between
her fore legs.
On the march, when a little elephant s
born in n herd, they stop a day or two to
allow it time to exercise its little limbs
and gain strength, and then they p..aa

ready to rush forward at the first alarm.
When rocky or hilly places are reached,
the little n are helped up by the moth
ers, who push them from behind and in
various ways; but when a river has to be
forded or swum, n comical sight ensues.
The stream may be very rapid and
rough, as the Indian rivers often are after
a rain, and at such a place the babies
would hardly be able to keep up with the
rest; SO the mothers and fathers help
them. At first all plunge boldly in-both
young and old-and when the old Gle
plants reach deep water, where they nave
to swim, the young scramble upon their

young elephants often require a little
more care and attention, SO they are held
either upon the tusks Of the father or
grasped in the trunk of the mother, and
held over or just at the surface of the
water. Such a sight is a curious one, to
say the least-the great elephants almost
hidden beneath the water, here and there

water, resting upon a submerged back,

SONG OF THE WHEEL.

Away from the Office and desk at last,
The business haunted room,
The roar OF a city, hurrying past,
The heat, the worry, the gloom,
To the glorious red OF the sunset sky,
The sweet, cold wine of the air,
On the frozen road, my wheel and I,
A dusty, rusty pairi
Push, push, two birds in a bush -
Are laughing to see mo hop;
On with a bound from the frozen ground,
With never q sway nor stop.
Over and over the pedals fly
Come on!' TO the twittering bird 1 cry,
As over and over the wheels fly pnst her;
Over and over, still faster and faster,
On through the ice cold stream of air,
On where the road is frozen and bare.
Roll-roll-roI-roll-
Silent and swift as a death freed soul,
Glide-glide-
On the smooth, black tide
OF the ocean of night flowing in from the west,
Over and over, and on without rest,
Swifter and swifter, Till over the crest
OF the hill, and down to the valley below,
Through the murk OF the mist and the white of
Now my steed ~falters, as, breathless and slow,
Up the steep hillside he labors and grinds,
Grinds-grinds-grinds-grinds-
Across and across he turns and winds,
sand clogged and rock %hindered, without hope
or faith,
No longer a soul, but a sin burdened WRATH
TIL, reaching the summit, he spurns the dark
hill,
And onward he plunges, for good or for ill.,,
Over and onward, and onward and over,
He reels and he spins like a Jolly old rover.
Roll-ron-rol-ror-
Backward he flies to our one dear goal,
Where the whirling shall cease, and the rider
shall rest,
And soft trembling lips to my own thall be
pressed.
Sl~ow-slow-slow,
Slowly-more slowly-we go
What, darling, so far on the road tonight,
To welcome us both with your eyes sweet light
The wheel no longer has need to roam
Be quiet, old fellow, we're safe, safe at home.
